Mason M I would say that I'm a connoisseur of coming of age comedy drama films, it's one of my favorite genres. And The Edge of Seventeen was a riveting, creative, and hilarious watch. Though it was a bit darker than I expected, I still really enjoyed this film. The writing and plot was a great balance between realism where there isn't really that much of an actual plot, yet enough cohesion for me to still be riveted and immersed in the plot. The writing comedically was also just as good, everything the Woody Harrelson character said had me bursting out with laughter. Hailee Steinfeld's performance was also really impressive as one of the better teenage performances I've seen in a coming of age film. And I won't spoil it, but the ending was one of the most satisfying endings to a film I've seen in a long time. To anyone who enjoys the coming of age comedy drama, The Edge of Seventeen is an immersive, immensely well made, and hilarious film that really left me smiling by the end. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/04/25 Full Review Nim T I liked the movie where Hailee Steinfield captured the essence of being a teenager. Whether it is the struggle after the father's death, the lost of her friend and a estranged relationship, she showed with the right amount of emotion and action. Woody Harrelson was a good supporting character for Steinfield because he was showing with calmness, yet honesty that he cares for the student as a teacher. The chemistry Steinfield have with the other characters was clear and filled with natural emotions. The way friends' relationships can get impacted easily is another real life event that is worth acknowledging.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/22/25 Full Review charlotte t an incredible perspective on grief, trials and self-loathing turned into acceptance. This movie takes a refreshing look at a teenage girl who has struggled relentlessly and let those struggles form her view of the world, resulting in solace. each character, including Nadine's mum, has wonderful depth and I thought that Edwin's awkwardness was perfect for that of Nadine. great casting, great storyline and a lovely watch Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/17/25 Full Review Jey D All the John Hughes comparisons are 100% apt.
